I've Been to Jamie's Italian in Sydney!

How exciting is that?  I've been wanting to go since the restaurant opened late last year and I finally got a chance this week. 

My daughter has posted all the details and photos of our lovely lunch on her blog and seeing as I can't upload photos to my JO blog any more, she agreed that I could put a link to her post.

I will be going again soon to choose something else from the fabulous menu big_smile

Re: I've Been to Jamie's Italian in Sydney!

Great discription of the day .

Last time I went to the Jamie's Italian here in Cardiff , my friend and I shared starters of some huge green olives that we're served on ice  and some fried ravioli , both of which I love.
She has some squid ink spagetti and I had honeycomb canalonni , the honeycomb canalonni were filled with 3 different fillings and instead of long tubes being layed down to cook these were short tubes ( long cut into 2 or 3 ) which were stood up to cook ! Really yummy .

Tell your daughter that it would have been the crushed ameretti biscuits that dressed her pasta dish . Ameretti and pumpkin god very well together . I have also had similar to that dish before both out and at home and it's really good .

What's the issue with photos on your blog ?
I find I have to resize the photos a lot before they get accepted and that the photos with a lot of red in them need to be chopped smaller than the photos with for example blue in them !!  Drives me nuts , especially as I have been going to all the supperclubs to write about them on the forum for you all . Last months pictures were not what I hoped because of this .

Mummza, I will get somebody to have a look at my photo upload problem.

I saw those olives on the menu too  yummy


Mr Spice, if you are planning a mid-week lunch at Jamie's Italian, I would recommend arriving at 2pm when the queue has died down.  We waited just over half an hour when we arrived at 12 but by the time we were leaving there was nobody waiting and quite a few empty tables.  We will do a late lunch next time.  I hope the weather is fine for your visit to Sydney.  It's the middle of winter here but our temperatures are higher then most of England at the moment, not sure about Germany.

That's a nice blog post.  The decor surprised me, kind of retro-60's diner with a bit of trashy glitz?  I may have the wrong impression from the chandelier and the pink banquettes.

What lovely pictures, descriptions and fabulous looking food.

I would love to go to one of Jamie's restaurants, my hairdresser has been to one in Bristol (England) and she was telling me all about it the last time she was snipping away at my hair. She had a fabulous time!

I definitely want to go some day....  big_smile
